$75 Logo / Header Combination

[Edisonian]

Hello:

I have a new site that I am re-developing. The site focuses on different types of relationships. There will be an index page with information which links to both a blog and a forum. I have a header design which I created on the forum now. I would like to use the same colors and pictures for the header.

What I need is a stand-alone logo (white background), and a logo version that is integrated into the forum header somehow (possibly where the site title is not; although there need not be a black background). For instance, you may just use a symbol from the logo.

The logo for the index page should be slightly conservative but also convey a sense of fun. The site covers a broad array of relationships (i.e., workplace, business, international, family, enemies, affairs, etc), so it should not look like it should be for a dating, pen pal or any specific love theme.

You should stick to the guidelines for the index logo, but I welcome any creative integration for the forum header.

Theme: Anything to do with relationships (serious, fun, dangerous, silly loving, etc)

Approach: The mark should be flexible enough to symbolize both serious/professional subjects and fun/whimsical topics.

Colors: Dark oranges, yellows and grays (I welcome any proposed alternative color schemes you feel may better convey the theme).

Format: Vector based, PNG, JPG

Deadline: I will set the deadline at this Friday. However, if I see a design I really like I may end much earlier.

Delivery: You must provide a note with the fonts and colors used in the logo. I require a vector graphic file (preferably in Macromedia Freehand), and a Macromedia Fireworks (PNG) or Adobe Photoshop (PSD) format --I prefer PNG. You must deliver JPG file too.

Payment: $75 for both the regular logo, and an integrated logo/header design. You must have a PayPal account, as I will use PayPal to send the payment

Important: Your work must be 100% original. All intellectual property rights convery to me exclusively. This is a work-for-hire agreement.

By enterting the contest, you agree to all of the above terms and conditions.

Here are four variations on the same subject:

Everything is 100% vector (so it can be resized without loss of quality) and custom-made by me. If chosen, I can supply the logo in .jpg, .gif, .eps, .ai and .png if you want (although the .png will not be editable).

Feedback would be great!

Hope you like them

Hi,

Heres my first concept.

Thanks.

 

[SB_GEMINI]

Here you go hope you like any changes you would like done just ask

 

[Edisonian]

These are good. I like will7's best so far, but I am not sure I want hearts b/c it reminds me of love and dating, and the site is much broader.

 

[will7]

OK Edisonian, I'll work on changing the symbol to a wider radius. I wasn't sure if you'd like the hearts, but it was worth a try

 

[SB_GEMINI]

another go...

 

[Edisonian]

I had not thought of the sex symbols. That's interesting. I would be interested in seeing other symbols or broad representations of diverse relationships.

 

[SB_GEMINI]

:lol: yeah i know what you mean it seams obvious now but it took me a while to think of it :lol:

 

[will7]

Aw, I was just in the middle of doing one using the sex symbols and I just checked back here to see that SB_GEMINI had got there first. Heh, ah well, back to the drawing board I guess!

 

[Edisonian]

Is anyone else going to participate?

 

[guetizo]

Hi Edsonian!

I'm sure I will. I just about now to finish my concepts.

Expect my entry soon

Thanks

-----------------------

Here's my entry. 100% vector artwork.

Feedback is appreciated

Thanks
guetizo

P.S.: I'll try to give more concepts.

 

[SB_GEMINI]

Here are my two entries:

 

[Edisonian]

guetizo -- Thanks for participating, but the image does not load on my end. I get an error box.

General Feedback for All:

guetizo -- okay, I see it now. I really like the uniqueness of your concepts. It's broad enough to cover different types of human interaction. I am not sure about the blue but or the font --not what I had in mind--but it looks very good so I want to think this one through some. I do like this one a lot. It would be interesting to see another variation.

will7 -- what I like about yours is that it has a very nice traditional layout for a logo which makes it easier to use in different places. I like the utilization of colors best here. If you already did one using the sex symbols I would be interested in seeing that.

sb gemini -- I like the second use of the sex symbols. Not to fond of the colors, and the font (a little big too). But I do like what you have done.

graphicfizz -- I like the concept of people as a symbol of relationships. The colors are somewhat bright, and I don't like the font much. But this was a good entry.

At this point, guetizo's design using hands stands out most to me.

Still would like to see different iterations of the concepts or other entries. I would like to select a winner asap.

my attempt

heres my attempt at a logo. could i get some feedback? what modifications would you like to see to maybe spice it up a bit? i was thinking of putting a sun behind those figures.
the diagonal lines are watermark lines

 

[SB_GEMINI]

ok think this color scheme is working better also ive doen a few different font size variations

 

[Edisonian]

dew -- I like the concept. The colors are good, but an extra color would make it better. I like the fact that it is linear, and can be used in different locations like a narrow header.
